@JasonC Let's vote for the IS DISAPPEAR guy as a write-in candidate.
@AlexisKing My write-in goes to Optimus Prime.
I bet IS DISAPPEAR guy is a pretty strong deletionist.
@JasonC This just in: Jason C supports anarchist SO moderation.

Is the phrase "Long Path Tool" in the heuristics for Smoky? People keep approving spam for this: stackoverflow.com/review/first-posts/7671711 and I found a few more instances while digging around. Maybe Smoky could catch those, because these folks have been spamming this stuff for at least five years now.
@BradLarson yes, we've added it to the blacklist
but unfortuantely, it doesn't catch all of these answers because not all SO questions are on /realtime, which is used by SmokeDetector
@ProgramFOX Bummer. Guess I'll have to keep searching from time to time. These people and the recovery tools spammers really annoy me.

Q: Can we use something other than reputation as the bottleneck for election primaries?

AstroCBWe recently began the sixth moderator election on Stack Overflow. There is a huge number of highly qualified candidates, and there are 23 overall at the time of this writing. That's great, but there's this to consider: After 7 days, the top 30 nominees, ordered by reputation, advance to the ...
